  • Thanks Victor. Sorry, that was a typo error. And PipeClip.liml sample helped me a lot. So I've modeled 2 rc beams in a four bending test: One is under reinforced (10 mm rebars). I've attached the ploted values (experimental and mecway non linear w…
  • Thanks Victor. Should this happen even if the tensile stress (0,35 MPa) is lower than the strenght (3.5 MPa)? Also, I'would like to apply vertical displacements instead of loads. I've tried that but it doesn't output any results (choose the 3 uppe…
  • Victor, thanks a lot for your reply. That worked.I'm trying to model an experimental 4 point bending test in a reinforced concrete beam.The modeled steel was meshed with an equivalent area layered inside the concrete. I started by applying load in …
  • Thanks for your reply Victor.I've done as you said but it seems that the nonlinear analisys is independent from the "compression_only" material properties that I input in custom model definition. I guess I'm missing something. Can comebody check t…
  • Thanks once again Victor. I've done that but the shear stress distribution along the interface is completely different from the expected results(see the excel screenshot). I believe this is due to the modelling of the interface (it should be cohesiv…
  • Hi Victor, Thanks again for your support. I would like to build a graphic with the evaluation of the shear stress in the interface (like the one in the pdf). Is there a way of indirectly simulating a cohesive element in the bonding interface with Me…
  • That helped. Now it's working! Next step: I'll try to model some beams and compare the results with the ones obtained with supertempcalc and ansys or other software usually used by concrete researchers.
  • Great news!! The temperature module is great and very easy to use! Now I'm only hoping that soon we can use a Drucker-Prager elasto-plastic model for concrete inside Mecway Is there any chance of this happening in the future?
  • Thanks a lot. I forgot to divide for 60. Now convection and radiation work as they should About the results exporting, I tried to do what you told (select node, solve, go to temperarure results and then table tool) but after the solving the node s…
  • Hi Victor, Thanks a lot for your answers. It was a great help. About convection in beta version: it works despite the error message (that the analysis doesn't support time changing). Altough it seems to work I found the results very strange. I've …
  • Victor thanks a lot for your support. About your answers: 2. It would be great to simulate a changing ambient temperature. I believe this would atract a lot of students like me that are working with thermal experimental analisys and need a simple t…
